A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different websites which are associated in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
When you purchase a cloud hosting plan from us, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host just one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
